Kosher salt
2 pounds green beans, ends trimmed
2 tablespoons canola oil

1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season generously with salt.

Add the green beans and blanch until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes.

Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking, and then remove to a baking sheet lined with paper towels or a cooling rack to drain.

In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add the canola oil and butter.
5

When the butter is melted, add the garlic and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.

Add the green beans, soy sauce, sesame seeds, and black pepper and saute until the sauce reduces slightly and thoroughly coats the green beans, being careful not to overcook beans.
